For tenders, the Northwest Territories Manufactured Products Policy and the BIP bid adjustments are other factors that are taken into consideration for request for proposals. A number of other factors other than price are taken into consideration when evaluating proposals; criteria may include but are not limited to team experience, methodology, design and construction, project schedule, and BIP adjustment. PWS has developed, in my understanding, has implemented new evaluation criteria for design-build RFPs called community engagement. As part of this new evaluation criteria, proponents are asked to explain and demonstrate the following: how local labour will be recruited and utilized as part of the project; what plans are in place to provide and maximize on-the-job training opportunities for local residents; understanding the local economy, highlighting how their proposal addressed any economic constraints or challenges; and the approach for communication and collaboration with local government and First Nations organizations. PWS is working with client departments to start using the community engagement criteria for large, multi-year RFP contracts to assist with supporting local labour and businesses.
